Oxbow6 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I would like to see Mac Rocco and Drake together. Least we would have a top line. Luke can center OD and Parks. One line to let em skate and pressure. One to cycle and grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokey the cat Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So is hak playing with eades recruits? Eades recruits were the ones who went the major route. These are Jackson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82SiouxGuy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Like I said... most. you didn't catch that... first word of my sentence... see it? I saw it, and I don't agree. Hakstol is in his 10th year. He has been in the NCAA tournament every year. He was recruiting coordinator under Blais before that. Blais wasn't responsible for every one of those recruits, and his recruits have been done for a while. The most highly drafted players were recruited while Blais was here. Hakstol has had similar success with players recruited while he was an assistant and with players recruited while he was head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all involved would swap 7 NCAAs and a NC every 10 years vs NCAA every year w no NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you don't think blais and his success as a coach had anything to do with those recruits you are nuts..... the guy is a primary reason we have the building we do... with a little help from Ralph.

Irish Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not saying Hak should be fired, but I hope to God he wakes up a little and becomes somewhat flexible on the dump and chase and cycle. I'm looking at you, power play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at you, power play. UNO was running the same type of PP....however they had a man on the far wall . Their forwards also didn't look so robotic when dumping it in... they actually are looking to see if they have a clear dumping lane whereas UND dumps it regardless.

I didn't say anything about Blais as a coach or whether his success was a factor in recruiting. I said that you and many others have given (and are giving) too much credit to Blais for recruiting. He wasn't the only reason those players came to UND. If he was he would still be getting those type recruits at UNO. I don't see him getting many recruits that are drafted in the top of the first round of the NHL draft. And I don't think there is a huge difference between seasons where a team loses in the regional finals versus a season where they lose in the semi-finals of the NCAA.

MafiaMan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 And I don't think there is a huge difference between seasons where a team loses in the regional finals versus a season where they lose in the semi-finals of the NCAA. I do. Could you imagine this board had Hakstol led UND to wins over Minnesota and Yale in the regional final the past two seasons only to get smoked by BC and UMass-Lowell in the national semi-finals of the Frozen Four a week later? SiouxSports.com would implode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy brought back und to greatness, turned the force into a decent franchise (yes I know they are bad this year 82), and is turning a Nebraska hockey program into a decent one. He has some awesome recruits coming in next year, are you even aware of this? That program was a laugher until he got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't the god that many of you keep trying to make him. I watched Gino take the UND program under Rube Bjorkman and bring it to the NCAA finals in 3 of his first 4 years, winning 2 of them. He built the best team in UND history, probably one of the best in college hockey history. I'm not sold that Blais was even the best coach at UND, much less the super-human being that you seem to believe he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, the season is by no means over it was an ugly game that many teams have now and then. Again I am not on the fire hak train but he needs to pick his locker room up and get them ready for next weekend. I actually though that UNO was pretty good from an offensive perspective. Alright, nice debate guys I have a big game myself this morning..... with absolutely zero dump and chase hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the best team by far in the nation and got severely out coached in the frozen four..... More than once.... It's not like he's a bad coach but maybe it is time for new blood?

Hakstol is easily one of the top 10 coaches in college hockey. The others in that category aren't leaving their schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
